Last Updated: 2024/09/20, Recently, many flower friends want to change pots for flowers, but I don't know if the old soil can be thrown away. In fact, as long as a few small things are added, the old soil can be used for another year, saving a lot of money to buy nutritious soil!

soil disinfection method

1. First of all, the old soil that has been replaced must be exposed to the sun for a few days. If there is a residual root system of a pot of flowers or weed roots in the soil, they should be picked up and thrown away.

2. Turn over the soil with a small shovel. If there are pests such as centipedes and snails, you can catch them and eliminate them to prevent the next pot of flowers from being harmed.

3, the soil can be sprayed with some pesticides for flower cultivation, to remove the eggs in the soil.

4, you can also use boiling water to boil, hot water can kill bacteria, small insects and so on in the old soil.

If the amount of old soil is not very large, it can be put into a container and heated in a microwave oven for 3 to 5 minutes. This method is convenient and fast, and the effect is also very good.

6, you can also put the sun-dried soil into a plastic bag, sealed tight bag mouth stuffy for a few days. Most bugs and eggs suffocate in oxygen deprivation.

Add it to the old soil, it's better than nutrient soil!

After sterilization, the old soil has been relatively clean, but almost no nutrition, and has hardened, poor air permeability. You can add something to retting soil and make it fertile!

1. There are many things that can be used to retting soil, such as soaked soybeans, coffee grounds, rotten vegetable leaves, etc.

2, usually eat all kinds of fruit skin can also be retting soil, if there is a small courtyard or open-air balcony at home, you can also retting fish intestines, chicken manure and other taste of relatively large nutrient soil.

3, under the flowerpot first spread a layer of old soil, and then spread a layer of prepared retting material, and then spread soil, so repeat the operation until the pot is full. Then pour some water into the soil.

4. Seal the flower pot mouth with plastic film or plastic bag, preferably without leaving a gap.

5. It takes a long time to retting soil, about 2 to 3 months in warm weather and about 4 months in winter.

6. When taking off the bag, if the color of the soil has turned black, it is decomposed.

7. If the moisture content of the freshly retting soil is relatively large, it can be dried in the sun and reused, so that the soil will be more breathable.

8, finally, flowers to remind everyone, if the old soil has been raised sick flowers, it can no longer be used, otherwise if there are residual bacteria, it will make the next pot of flowers infected Oh!

So much for turning old soil into new soil,

If you've got some old dirt to replace,

You can save a lot of money buying land!
